It is the retreat of all who are given to thought, and who, far from society, have a heart to calm, a soul to fortify, buryness. The principal feature in the invention is the plan adopted for entirely preventing the nuts of the screws being broken off by the violence of the blows aimed at the target and against the head of the bolts—an accident which the numerous recent trials have proved to be of constant occur rence whenever there is what is termed an impulsive strain upon the bolts. The defect has been especially felt during late experiments at Shoeburyness, where iron plates at tached to the targets by the existing description of screw bolts, have been exposed to fire of heavy ordnance. The reason of such accidents is obviously the diminution of the strength of the bolts caused by the thread of the screws being cut into their substance. In the armour bolts just completed at Chatham Dockyard Major Palliser has com pletely remedied this fatal defect by so constructing his bolts that their screw threads at the end are, as it were in relief, or, in other words, so much thicker than the bolts themselves. The stem or shank of the bolt is purposely made slightly smaller in diameter than the bottom of the thread of the screw, the effect of which is that the exten sion due to the strain will occur throughout the reduced part of the bolt, and not on the thread of the screw, which latter, it is suggested, may, if required, be constructed of steel and Netilded to the shank. Numerous experiments have demonstrated that in iron and other metallic bars sub jected to sudden tensile strains, the extension occurs wholly at the weakest points in the bar. In the late official trial of Major Palliser's invention made at Sheeburyness before the Ordnance Select Committee, four different methods of fastening armour-plates were tested—namely, 1, that by rivets ; 2, by means of Warrior bolts; 3, by improved Warrior bolts; and, 4, by Major Palliser's method as de scribed above. The result of the experiments, as recorded in the official report of the competitive trial, was an easy triumph for Major Palliser's method. All the bolts on the occasion referred to held firm, and none snapped their screw-heads, notwithstanding the heavy pounding to which the plates they fastened were subjected, while the other three plans for bolting on the armour-plates failed sooner or later. The new bolts just completed at Chatham Dockyard will be employed in securing the iron plates attached to the new target in course of construction at Shoeburyness, alongside other iron plates attached by dif ferent methods.

Hei Majesty's screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 1,466 tons, 400 horse power, left Chatham-harbour at an early hour en Sa turday morning with the intention of making her official trial of speed at the measured mile, near Maplin Sands, in order to enable the Admiralty officials to ascertain her steaming qualities since the numerous alterations and improvements recently effected on board. For some days previous to the trial the corvette's decks were crowded with dockyard me chanics engaged in getting the vessel out of hand, and a numerous body of artisans and labourers were working on board up to 11 o'clock th e previous night, in order that the Cadmus might be ready to proceed on her official trial the following morning. Late on Friday it was discovered by the officials connected with the engineer. department of the a pitch of 24ft. to one of 20ft. The dockyard that the screw —a new Griffiths propeller, which has been substituted for the old Admiralty bladed screw— uperintend the trial on Saturday were screw— required altering in its pitch, and accordingly. several hours were occupied in clearing the well, lifting the screw, and inspector. of machinery. afloat and chief officials o t n h the boardblades to from s Capt.

Under these circum stances Captain Hall decided on not placing the steamer on the measured mile, and a run was only taken to the Nore and back, the working . of the screw being still un satisfactory. The official trial of speed was accordingly deferred, and in the afternoon the Cadmus brought up along side the Benbow, 72, where the workmen immediately com menced making some further alterations in her screw. In this they were employed the remainder of the day, the trial at the measured mile being postponed. Opportunity will now be taken to give the corvette a better trim, for which purpose 200 tons of coal will be placed on board. It is stated at Chatham that the Cadmus will be commissioned in few days by Capt. J. F. Ross, the same officer who paid that vessel off when put out of commission at Chatham.

For his part he would say that he thought they had reason to congratulate themselves that the sagacity of a Prime Minister, 80 years old, had certainly saved them from a great curse—namely, a war with foreign countries, (Cheers.) He said that not from any personal regard for Lord Palmerston, for he and those around him had joined in a vote of censure on the Government in reference to the treatment of Denmark and the way in which the negotiations in reference to that country had been conducted ; but it was impossible for any one to look at the state of Europe, to look at the arrogance of some foreign countries, and to the attitude maintained by France, by Austria, and by Italy, without congratulating themselves on the fact that they had not been involved in war, In offering this as a matter of congratulation, he did not mean to say that the country approved of the spoliation of Denmark. They remembered the re ception that had been given to the Princess of Wales when she came to this country, and there could be no doubt that the woe, the misery, and the disaster which befel her fatherland came home to the hearts of all in this country: (Hear.) The health of " The County Members" having been g iven from tha chair, Mr KING KING said he should take advantage of the rule of the society which excluded party politics, but he might say that in the absence of party politics, with peace abroad and prosperity at home, they were happily left to work out these problems of social and moral improvement which they all more or less had at heart. Mr GAIVTIIORNE HARDY said the time was no far distant whem members of Parliament would be called upon to give on the hustings that account of their stewardship to which Lord Bateman had al luded, and when that time came he should be ready to make his report. In the leading journal, the other day, they were told that no members of Par liament had a right to appear before their constitu. ents without giving them full instructions on the things of the day; but, nevertheless, they found the pages of that same paper filled with reviews of books, with letters on the rearing of bees, and on sewing machines. (Loud laughter.) With regard to agricultural prospects, they were now subjected to unrestricted comp e titi on , and it behoved them by means of improved agriculture to get out of the land more than they had hitherto done. Agriculture had made great strides in the last few years, looking to the implements, the build ings, and the skill whi c h f armers exerc i se d i n what he might call the manipulation of manners. He re commended farmers to carefully study the blue book recently issued by Parliament on the subject of the sewage of towns. Passing to another subject, he observed that Parliament had taken in hand the sub. ject of the education of the poor, and also of the rich, and it was now proposed to have an inquiry as to the education of the middle classes. When so much was being done for the poor, it behoved them to see that their workmen were not better educated than their own sons. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that their workpeople received an education calculated to unfit them for their position. If that were so, it was the fault of the mode of education, and not of the education itself. It was for the land lords to provide proper cottage accommodation for the labourers on their estates. If the landlord did his duty in this respect, he effected as much good for the farmer and tenant as if he provided good stabling for their horses and good pigstyes for their pigs. Far be it from him to speak of the poor as on a par with the beasts of the field, but he must say that in some places he had seen the poor living in habitations less suited for them than those provided for the lower animals. In conclusion, the hon. mem ber spoke of Post-office savings banks and the Go vernment Annuities Bill as offering great advan• tages to the working population of this country. The Hon. CECIL HANBITEY LENNOX also re sponded to the toast. The 7wies had been pleased to give to the speeches at the agricultural meetings the title of " extra• Parliamentary utter ances." He (the speaker) looked upon it that the orators at these meetings, from the Premier himself downwards, wore in the habit of thrashing out the straw which had already been well bela boured, until the residue was the very dustiest chaff. (Laughter.) They had already had two ope rations of this kind performed by their members that evening, and it only remained for him to sweep the floor and see if there were any corn at all left for him. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the late session of Parliament, they might be thankful for three mercies in reference to it—peace, Palmerston, and prosperity. He would not touch on the affairs connected with Brazil, with Denmark, with Ash. antee, or with America, but he would merely, in re ference to the national humiliation that had been submitted to, observe that they had certainly got out of the mess, but it had been said abroad, with regard to the manner in which they had escaped, that the England of to-day was not the Englund of former days. There could be no doubt that the spirit which had characterised our negotiations with foreign countries of late had caused a blush on many an English countenance, The speaker then referred to ono or two measures of last session, in- eluding Mr Bass's bitter crusade against barrel organs, and said he anticipated his next meeting with his hearers would be at the hustings. Other toasts of a local character followed. ~~ Smith and Co., 52, Long-acre. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.-HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. POSITIVELY THE LAST WEEK. THE BAND OF THE DANISH GUARDS.

To Paris Via Dieppe, (Prom the Railway News.) The three chief routes between England and France, as everybody knows, are by Dover and Calais, by Folkestone, and Boulogne, and by Newhaven and Dieppe. Look at the map, and you will see that the line from London to Paris by Newhaven and Dieppe is much more direct and shorter, in actual mileage, than either of the other two lines. If it were all dry land, it would be by far the best mode of communi- cation, and the others would have little more chance of competing with it than a line which led from London to Brimingham by way of Ipswich would have with one which _ _ . ran straight between the two cities. It is the interposition of that unsociable element, the sea, which makes all the dif ference. The deep valley which the waves, aided by terres trial convulsions, have worn between the chalk cliffs of France and England, which probably began to yawn since man appeared upon the earth, is at the narrowest where Do ver;nd Folkestone look across at Calais and Boulogne, and widens to twice the distance between Newhaven and Dieppe. Here we have a striking illustration of the supe- riority of land over water transit in respect of speed, for the comparatively slight difference in mileage (as it would be deemed on shore) between the Newhaven and the other two ferrieamore than neutralises the advantage which the for- mer route derives from its very much shorter mileage on land. For all that, however, there is not any very great difference between them in point of time for ordinary tra vellers. Those who go direct from London to Paris, on busi ness of urgency, or who have a horror of the sea, will, of course, choose either Dover or Folkestone lines. Those who want to see something more of France than its metro polis, and who do not grudge a little delay on the journey for that object, will not hesitate to take the Newhaven route. The sea passage ought not to be a deterrent. It occupies only some five hours and a half or six hours—indeed, the new boat, the Marseilles, accomplished it the other day in four and a half—and the Channel is often much more angry and tempestuous between its narrower straits. An atom in the vast tide of metropolitan humanity which flaws every morningbetween 8 and 10 from the suburbs to the City to ebb again at dusk, we one day find ourselves drifted into the side eddy of the London• bridge terminus, and presently are being whirled away southwards. All the trim little villas of New Cross and Forest Hill seem to be racing up to town as we rush past; the Sydenham Palace makes us wink as, like a great chrysolite, it flashes to the sun in a sudden blaze and then is lost to sight. A pause of a few seconds at Croydon, and then we are dashing through a fine country, clothed a few weeks ago with wreaths of hops and breadths of yellow grain, but still richly green with foliage, though the hop-poles are ranged in tented order and the wheat is only ragged stubble in the fields. Reigate shows its red face an instant and is gone. We catch a glimpse of Lewes, looking very blue with many slates— slates on its roofs and its gables—slates everywhere. A jerk round a sharp curve and herowe are at Newhaven whuf— a quiet little port in a cleft of the long chalk cliffs. The Alexandra, snorting spasmodically and emitting impatient gushes of steam, as if eager to be off, is lying at the quay to receive her passengers, who have now an opportunity of inspecting each other. 1 here is the usual motley crew—the old travellers, who profit by experience to rush down stairs and make a comfortable lunch with a little brandy and seltzer to wash it down, and then select snug places upon deck; the timid ones, who immediately begin to swallow mysterious chemicals, administered in so many drops in a tumblerful of water, concerning which, when we inquire of the steward as to what it is, we elicit, after evasive replies, an indignant exclamation, " Bless you, that 'ere nasty stuff won't do 'em any good—there's nothing like aglass of prime stout or a stiff go of grog if you feel queer, I oan tell you;" the reckless ones, who quaff ale and begin to smoke large cigars defiant of old Neptune, who, however, does not long delay a cruel revenge ; the inquisitive ones, who want to know how the wind is, the length of the keel, the number of the crew, the name of the stoker, the age of the steward's wife, and so on; the" swells," who have " made up" for the voyage, some nautically, in rough pea jackets and mo dified sou-western, some en grande tame, light kid gloves, patent leather boots, and opera glass in glossy case slung round their shoulder, and one, Heaven save the mark I in shooting boots and knickerbockers (not that his legs are much to look at, after all.) There are the foreigners, too, looking already quite green, as if reflecting the complexion of the hateful element, and clothed, some of them, in strange modifications of English costume intended to astonish their families in France, as this one here, in a huge cabman's great coat of a fine cream colour, adorned with large oyster shell buttons and elaborate plaits and seams, crossing and recrossing each other fantastically; and this other, in a full suit of corduroys, supposed to represent the ordinary habi liment of the first aristocracy in the world. Meanwhile the luggage is being swung down the hold, and some interest is manifested in the stout, square, little iron bound boxes which are being carefully counted one by one, and piled up in a safe corner by themselves. These are full of bullion. A large rill of that drain of specie, of which we hear so much talk about nowadays, finds it way through Newhaven to the Continent. One of our kid glove friends is trying hard to pass himself off as somehow connected with this costly freight ; but the real officer in charge is that quiet, keen eyed gentleman who is standing apart enjoying the joke. At length everybody and everything are on board, the ' moorings unfastened, and with a shrill whistle the Alexandra glides out of the narrow harbour. Of the voyage little need be said. The sea is tolerably quiet, and except the foreigners and one or two Britons who have made up their mind tha they ought to be ill, and must be ill, the company rather enjoy the fresh sea breeze, which already begins to redden wan cheeks, blanched by the care and confinement of the towns, into something like the hue of health. There are one on two married couples on board, some of them newly married, and hare we are tempted to make a remark. In our guide book we find it stated, among other singular cus toms of Normandy, that when a marriage occurs there is sometimes a fight between the bride and her 4room at the altar, for in putting on the ring if the man can push it be low the second joint he will be master of his wife and house, whereas, if he fails, the sway will be with the woman. We suspect a sea voyage is better calculated to decide the ques tion. No matter how low the husband may have thrust the ring, if he suffers from the seal de suer and his wife does not, you may be sure his superiority is gone for ever. Young men about to marry, listen to the voice of wisdom and the counsel of experience—Don't let your wedding trip be across the waters, unless you are perfectly sure of "sea legs," or that the angel of your soul will be as bad as yourself I Chatting, dozing, sipping brandy and water, promenading, and killing time in various ways, the five hours and odd slip past, and we have reached the white cliffs of Dieppe, which are just the image of those we left on the other aide. No matter how often one crosses the Channel, it is always a curious sensation for an Englishman to find himself under the control of a soldier-police. We pass up to the custom house between two files of armed men; there are more of them at the railway station, and we are shut up in a salle d'attente, in order that the "authority" may have another opportunity of asserting itself. However, lot us be thankfal for the privilege of entering France with the simple decla ration, " Je suis Anglais," and without being asked for a passport. Dieppe is not a very attractive town. It is moderately picturesque in parts, and not immoderately dirty except in the Pellet, where a race of wild fishermen dwell, who speak a patois of their own, and whom you have no occasion to visit unless you choose to study manners in a primitive and savage form. There is a large and handsome Etablissement do Baius on the beach, where there are balls, concerts, and pleasant social gatherings, and the environs in the direction of Argues are rather pretty. Still, life in Dieppe is flit and dull. It is a good place to go to, but not to stop in. It is good to go there, because it is a convenient starting-point for several charming spots. A cheap and easy coach ride along the coast leads, for instance, to St. Valery-en-Caux, where there is good sea bathing, and quiet quarters in a quaint little town at the bottom of a chasm between two steep heights. Further southwards, also on the coach road, is Fecamp, where those who like gaiety and fashion by the seashore will have their desire gratified to the full, It is a curious little town, built of white and black flints, in a nal row ravine, with a remarkable old church in its midst, and the ruins of an abbey in its neighbourhood. Etretat is nearer Havre, and is a watering place of a different charac ter. An enthusiastic licentiate in law, who has written a little book about Normandy, breaks into sentimental rap tures about this little marine village, where handsome villas stand shoulder to shoulder with the rude cabins of the in digenous fishermen. It attracts, we are told, by something savage and unexpected, the man who delights to study in Ole great bock of nature, Qr to dream 113 POIitUCTO 911 the N°. 22,557. PRICE .4d. STAMPED' sd f .a, ~ (r ~ i~~ '~ ~~~t~ ikt? 4 ..*.• 2 ~+,~~ The Bayonne Exhibition, (prom the limes Correspondent.) BAYONNE, o,:t. 5. International Exhibitions, as was once said of the " immortal principles of '69," are likely to make the tour of the world. This year there has been a Franco- Spanish one in Bayonne, which has only just clostd ; and San Sebastian, if of its time-honoured fortifica tions the last stone is removed, purposes to return the compliment. It is not likely, however, that Bayonne will soon imitate the Spanish town in the demolition of its ramparts and redoubts. It still maintains its old device, nunzqutam polluta, and, like Peronne, is proud of its supposed immunity from the trials to which other strong places have been exposed. If certai❑ local chronicles are entitled to belief, Bayonne stands on the site of the Lapurdum of antiquity; and it would seem that Lapurdum had no such creditable mottoes to show, for we are told that in the Basque language Lapurduni means no thing more or less than the "city of thieves," a cha racter which the modern town certainly deserves as little as any other agglomeration of 26,000 souls. Bayonne—baiu•ona, the Basque for good bay —was, as everybody knows, for 300 years or so in posses sion of the English. Its annal speaks of its having been besieged, and besieged unsuccessfully, though considerably maltreated, 13 or 14 times. It was here that Catherine of Medicis and Charles IX. concocted with the Duke of Alba the St. Bartholomew massa cre; and the Bayonese record with just pride the answer which Adriatic d'Apremont, Count of Orthes, then governor of their town, made to the request for his co-operation towards that bloody work : Sire,—l have laid your Majesty's commands before the loyal inhabitants and the men-at-arms of this garrison. I have found only honourable citizens and valiant soldiers, but not a single assassin. Wherefore, they and I, Sire, most humbly supplicate your Majesty to be pleased to em ploy our arms and our lives in deeds that are possible, how dangerous soever they be ; and in executing them we shall shed the last drop of our blood. It is a pity to disturb the faith in such traditions, but sceptics, who take pleasure in throwing doubt upon everything, deny that there is warrant for the boast, but that, like other well-known and neatly turned sayings, such as that of Henri IV. and the poule au pot, Louis XIV. and the suppression of the Pyrenees, Mirabeau's to the summons of the Marquis de Dreux Breze in the States General, and even Cambronne's "sublime" reply to the English at Waterloo, it is more flattering than true. It is cer tain, however, that the Grand Monarque took Bayonne on his way to St. Jean de Luz, where be went to get married to Marie Teresa of Spain ; and the ruins of the Chateau of Marrac hard by mark the spot where the Royal family of Spain, the wittol Charles IV., his worthless Queen, and the " black-eyed youth Godoy" fell into the hands of a still greater monarch. Of all fortified places that I have any experience of Bayonne is decidedly the least stern to look at. Its drawbridges are passed at all hours of the day and night, in summer and winter, autumn and spring ; and its gates are ever open. The moat that surrounds the walls is chiefly frequented by vagrants of eight or ten years old, who spend hours in the fruitless attempt to fish in its muddy and shallow water with cart whips for rods and crooked pins for hooks; and the inoffensive conscript who mounts guard hard by look more than half disposed to join them. Redoubts, half-moons, curtains, &c., all terrible on paper, here seem made only for re posing upon, and the soft verdure which covors the slopes of the earthworks suggests a siesta. It is actually on the glacis of this pacific-looking for tress that the International Exhibition was erected. It is a temporary structure of wood and canvas, lighted from the top with a lofty portico of the same fragile material, decorated with the arms of France, Paris, Madrid, and the Spanish provinces represented by their products. The said portico was somewhat shorn of its proportions a fortnight ago, having been blown down one night,and its restora tion was only partial. In one respect it resemb,ed other Exhibitions of far greater pretensions. It was announced to open on the 10th of July, but was not complete for some time after the official inaugura tion. A number of huts soon sprung up round the main building, like the camp followers that are found hanging on the flanks and rear of an army ; and the merry-go-rounds, shooting galleries, portable billiard tables, inoffensive animals described as ferocious, and good-naturedly accepted as fresh from the jungle; rope-dancers in pink muslin, mid. dle-aged, and a trifle too ponderous for the profes sion ; warriors bearded like the pard, enacting the battle of Solferino and the capture of Palikao ; the indispensable vivandiere planting the tricolour on a Chinese fortress, and the Sister of Charity tending a wounded Zouave—all these attractions caught too successfully, I fear, the attention of the young and thoughtless, and were not without effect in divert ing even staid persons from the more serious object before them. Financial considerations might, it is true, have been the cause of the rare attendance for the first few weeks. The admission was 2f. on Friday, half a franc on Thursday, and lf. on other days. Two francs even in Paris would make people hesitate; and how much more so in a provincial town ? The tariff, however, was reduced to 50c. or half a franc, with the exception of one day in the week when a franc was charged. The Bayonne Exhibition, though not to be spoken of the same day as that of Paris, and some what mean and tawdry in its external appearance, was not without interest. In the large courtyard, by which the public entered, stood a crucifix of colossal size in blue granite, and which was allowed by competent judges to display considerable merit, particularly when it was known that it was the production of a quarryman named Henrot. Some well-known Paris houses, perhaps in the expecta tion of the visit of the Court to Bayonne, as usual, sent some fine, I will not say their best, specimens. Among the goldsmiths' work Froment-Meurice ex hibited portions of a dinner service made for the Pasha of Egypt, and valued at 600,000 f. ; a ciboire, or Communion cup, from the design, it is said, of a Polish lady, presented by her to the Church of Pau; a rich and exquisitely sculptured chalice ; a second one, encrusted with rubies and turquoise ; and a tea service for the Empress of the French. Christofle, of Paris, also sent specimens of silver-gilt articles of the same kind; Clessinger and Fremiet their bronzes, and in ironwork groups of statues for foun. tains, dogs and horses' heads as ornaments for ken nels and stables. One gallery was devoted to the Aubusson tapestry of Requillart and Cloquart and porcelain of Bordeaux manufacture. Tissues of various kinds, house furniture, musical instruments of every variety, metals, ores, agricultural products, ploughs of many forms, machinery, cotton from Algeria, minerals, grain, specimens of hard wood from Africa of dark colour and capable of high polish, cedars of Lebanon 400 years old, specimens of Paris pottery, imitations of Italian majolica, &c., filled several galleries. Though the Exhibition professed to be Franco-Spanish, yet Spain did not contribute much in the way of natural products, reserving herself perhaps for the San Sebastian one promised for next year. Still there were in the agricultural section a few samples of Malaga and Logrono wines, which it was a pity one could only look at, and the wheat, rye, and maize of Cordova seemed to be of the very finest quality. Ia an annege, which was opened only three weeks ago, was the flower and fruit show. Of both there were some fine specimens, and nothing could be finer than the grapes and pears from the gardens of the Casa Caradoc, a property close to Bayonne, be• longing to Lord Howden ; those of Biandos, the pro perty of M.

There was a full length portrait of Queen Isabella, coarse, heavy, and commonplace, by M: Louis Madrayo. Side by side with Royalty is a portrait which many who never low the King Con sort believed to be his Majesty's, but which is said to be that of the painter himself. A dance in the couit-yard of a posada by M. Piens was excellent iu its way, and his picture of the noble cathedral of Burgos and a chapel of that of Toledo have much of the poetry of the sacred edifices of Spain. In this department, too, Paris contributes something —two portraits by Ricard, ske!ches of scenery in France and the East, by MM. Courbct, Core?, and Brest, and, as a specimen of historical painCegn Corneille reading one of his tragedies in the Hotel Rembouillet. Bayonne boasts of two painters— MM. Z.) and Bonnet. A Neapolitan beggar-boy, by the latter, is remarkably wed done, and attracted much attention. "11Tez~o bajocco, lizzelenza," are on his lips, eye, and extenebA hand, and your first movement was to put your hand in your pocket and give him a few sous. Bordeaux and Lyons sent some good landscapes, and among other objects of art were sketches in water-colours by the late Eugene de la Croix, photographs, &c. Not much was done, I fear, in the way of Lusi• ness by the exhibitors. I suspect that the one who attracted most customers was a little French boy, who kept a stall for the sale of knife sharpeners at from 2f. to sf. a piece, and who was scarcely 11 years old. One could not pass his stall without stopping to have a chat with him, as he stood behind his counter dressed in a blue military tunic with tiny gold epaulettes, a cap called a " bonnet pelisse," and a little s word hanging up peacefully in its little steel scabbard behind him. There was nothing of pertness or forwardness in his manner. He was polite to everybody; answered readily all the questions put to him ; dwelt on the excellence of his wares, testing them by experiments which seemed to be conclusive. He spoke French so as to be easily understood, with, of course, a decidedly English accent ; and his mistakes, such es "Mell ing" everyone who converses with him, gave jai uite amusement to the bystanders. With all his intelligence he was quite a child. When not ens gaged in business he amused him self like a child. On the whole the Bayonne Exhibition, though it may turn out profitable as a speculation, was highly creditable, particularly when we consider that it is its first attempt in this way. No doubt the ex pected presence of the Emperor and Empress ens couraged exhibitors to send some of the best spcci• wens of their industry, and the disappointment was considerable. But, however hurtful to their inte rests, the absence of the Court seemed to make little difference so far as Biarritz was concerned. No doubt the score or two of persons attached directly or indirectly to the Court were missed this summer, but for the last six weeks and more Biar. ritz was as peopled with visitors pretty much as in previous years. The opening of the railroad between Bayonne and San Sebastian, end ttie completion of the line to Madrid, not to speak of the Exhibition, had raised extravagant hopes of an enormously crowded season, which were by no means realised. What is called the season is over, yet up to the present many still linger in and about Biarritz, And it is no wonder, for the sky is as blue, the sun as bright, and the temperature as warm as in July. The Port Vieux, the Cote des Barques, and the Cotes des Faux, or, as it is now called, the COte Napoleon, were still frequented by bathers. Those who do not swim, but prefer to lie on the pure white sand, and let the breakers tumble over them, those who prefer a plunge from Jhe rock and strike out to sea, may indulge in that most healthy pleasure at any spot and at all hours of the day. The water is the purest in the world, and at the lowest tide you have no mud to wade through to get to it, but a fine sandy beach, Few persons now come to this part of the Pyre. nees without paying a visit to Spain, were it only as far as Irun, Fontainbin, San Sebastian, or Loyola, the birthplace of the founder of the Jesuits, whose convent still stands in that lovely valley. The line runs from Bayonne through one of the most pic turesque countries imaginable—Bidart, Guetary, St. Jean de Luz, where it crosses the Neville; and Hen daya on the Bidassoa, from which you can almost look into Fontarabia, skirts the sea coast, and con tinuos itg way along , valleys and slopes whose verdure not even the July or August sun can impair. The first view caught of the little town of Passages is at an opening of the road ; it suddenly appears rising out of its little bay, locked in between the Jtizquilet and lid% hills, and the old castle of San Sebastian in the distance is one of the most charming ima. ginable. On the other hand, the approach to Bay onne by the valleys of the Nive and Adour, with the slopes covered with handsome villas peeping out from the luxuriant foliage, and remarkable among the fine mansions, the Caso Caradoc of Lord Howden, situated on the brow of the valley, with its terraces glittering in the sun, its fair gardens, and its sloping lawns. Near this place the Nive is crossed by a bridge 83 metres long, and the Adour by one of 26S metres. From Bayonne and San Sebastian, and vice versa, there are three trains daily—one at G a.m., and one at 3 p.m., mad one at 6 p.m. The trip takes two hours and a half, in• eluding the indispensable delay at the Spanish and French Custom-houses, the former at Irun, and the latter at Hendaya. As I write the weather threatens a change. We have just had a thunderstorm of some violence with rain in abundance, but the temperature still warm. A few days' continuous rain would clear Biarritz of its remaining visitors. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, via Southampton Oct 19. v!a Marseilles Oct. 13.

A novel. 3 vols.— " There is a good deal to admire in The Master of Marton.' It is well written, and it has an interesting plot. It will take a very high place among the novels of the season The character of the heroine is most admirably drawn. Tho growth of her intelligence, the first yielding to hasty im pulses, and the subsequent steadying down to a beautiful cheerful, kind, loving woman, are excellently worked out ; and the same may be said of almost every character in the book—there is not one upon whom the greatest care has not been bestowed. The dialogue throughout is good, speaking everywhere with geniality and wit."—Star. THE HORSES OF PHIDIAS, says M. Berjeau, are of the pure Arabian race, although, when compared with the present type, their head is more square and larger. When the horseman is on foot his breast is at a level with the head of the horse ; when on horseback his feet are lower than its knee. Here the neck of the Greek horse is strong and muscular, his shoulders are well set, the breast deep, the joints strong, dry, and admirably perpendicular ; the back is short, and the tail carried with a peculiar elegance. The mane is generally cut brush-wise, while the tail is long and floats freely in the breez e. The horseman wants neither saddle nor stirrups, and under his directions the horse is either racing or cantering in a gentle gallop. But no mat trr what motion the artist may have chosen to depict, his marble horses are almost really living. Their admirable proportions and fine bearing, no doubt, caused them to find favour in the eyes, and mercy at the hands, of the Mussul man devastators, whose fanaticism so sadly mutilated the heads of the horsemen, more particularly perhaps Lecause the representation of men is prohibited by the Alcoran.
